The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

The Social Hub Florence Belfiore

8/10 Good
"This is our second stay at the Social Hub Florence Belfiore. I can't recommend it enough. The pool on the roof is a game changer when the heat is in the high 30s and it's a 50m pool which is incredible. Plenty of room for everyone who seemed to want to go for a dip or sunbathe. It's such a great space. The beds was comfortable and the room was spacious and it was so nice to have aircon - although there is a limit on how low you can turn this to, which was a shame, particularly when, as a woman, you are hormonal! The only small negative for us was that our room was changed when we arrived and we were in the building accessed not via the main entrance but by the side entrance. All fine, it was a nice and quiet but we didn't have a coffee maker/espresso pods as we did on our previous stay and as the room type suggests. There was no price list in the room so we didn't know what was complimentary or not so we didn't have anything."

"I traveled with my husband and daughter and stayed 4 nights from 7/25-7/29. I had requested earlier check-in by contacting the hotel directly through Expedia as long hours in the flight and then, train. The hotel staff indicated they didn’t receive my message. They made us wait for 2.5 hours. The lady who was at the reception desk wasn’t really friendly. She also forgot about us after told us to wait. I went to ask her about our room at 2:45pm, she started asking for my name again. I also didn’t appreciate her talking with her colleague in Italian while attending me. The hotel was beautiful. Our room was nice though waste of space with a long closet. The air conditioning wasn’t working properly as room would not get cool enough. When asked for a fan, they didn’t provide one as not available. They told me that we can change the room but that would cause major inconvenience. The room doesn’t have an iron. It is provided based on the availability. The front desk staff on the subsequent days were friendly and helpful. The hotel is about 15 mins walk from the train station and 25-30 mins from Duomo."
